What is the Expense Agent?
The Expense Agent is an AI-powered capability in Dynamics 365 that automates key steps in expense management. This innovative tool saves employees time and improves reporting accuracy! It analyzes receipts, extracts details, and auto-matches them with transactions. Plus, it can itemize complex receipts, like hotel stays. The agent can also generate expense reports on a scheduled basis. Users can quickly review and submit these reports through Microsoft Teams or finance and operations apps.
